Taunt

Taunts are non-combat gameplay elements that somehow 'manipulate' a battle. During the games, taunts increase Stylish Rankings and even the D.T. Gauge. However, they were reffered to as an "enemy intimidator" due to the effects of a taunt to an enemy.

How it works

 * Taunting draws the attention of nearby enemies, in case an enemy is attacking a demon, taunting it will force the enemy to attack the player instead
 * As mentioned above, taunting slightly increases your Stylish Ranking and D.T. Gauge.
 * Performing taunts after combos produces new and more stylish Taunts, like Nero's pose with the Red Queen and Blue Rose.
 * Different Taunts have different effects on enemies, for example; some taunted enemies attack faster and more ferociously, while some demons react to a taunt by means of panicking.
 * Taunting in Dante Must Die mode increases the chance of a demon entering in its Devil Trigger State
